so you rage, and for death yearn
do not go gentle into that sway
cup fast your light and let it burn...

just as life's lived on its terms
night bows down to glorious day
here a lesson to be learned...

should you find a page has turned
and all your answers lie there... NAY!
the Lady's WON... not to spurned...

cup fast your light and let it burn
though the stars have lost their way
the ocean lies not in its spray
this to God I solemnly pray

cup fast your light and let it burn...
death is not bought, but by life earned.

DO NOT GO GENTLY INTO THAT GOODNIGHT...

RAGE! RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT!

I don't presume to be as Dylan Thomas.
But this poem is for someone...

you know who you are  ♡
Your words showered me with Love!
Your words gave me the warmth inside my soul!
With your words I disappear from the Hideous World!
I'm in peace with your words....
                         I'm in love with your words


                                      But.....
                               Not with you!
There's a life imprisoned within you
And a world waiting outside for you
Let those two meet
Let go of all your fears
Don't hold back
Do the things you've always wanted to do
Make full use of your existence

By each callous day, waking neglects colour.
My eyes see black - pitched, vast and endless.
Every step I earn, learns a new monster.
My scabs and tears, each felt by their fingers.

The spirit I own, chafed thin breath by breath.
The air that we share - a sharp yoke on my back.
"The light's just ahead", says its voice abreast.
If not my drowning sight, my feet would have led.

I'll never forget how you tasted that night, or how badly i wanted you.
I'll always remember how your hands felt on my hips, and your fingers felt tracing my lips.

No Tiger roams these streets and silence rules where a Wolf once howled
only Man walks wild within his brothers good will
bestowing splendid mercy in a heart of live and let live
encompassing the Tiger and Wolf and all creatures other than himself.
In my visions the shadows darken
In my dreams the visions harken
Calling me to see inside my dreams
To change what seems a part of me
Looking to be free
The eagle flies
With searching vengeful eyes
The Portrait sees nothing
And yet it still cries
Crawling falling back in time
To see myself is my crime
I lost myself in that vision
But from it I have risen
Now my search is far from over
My dreams are like honey
In sweet clover
Waiting for the bees that hover over
To take me to my destiny
To take me to be free
Is there such a thing as freedom
Will the angels come
When we need them
Is there such a thing as a final place
For the members of the human race
Or will.we circle back To earth
In the form of another birth
the children with the masks starting to count down from six to zero
nobody knew what was happening yet they all knew what was going on
it was a sick and twisted game and there was no price you could win

the night was falling and the counting stopped and so did her heart
the angels were done beating her to death and the demons were laughing
the children with the masks were still smiling everything went wrong..

you could run for your life and all the humans you needed to save
but they will catch you, they will hunt you down and break you break...

two wrongs no rights all the broken ones lost each other that night
so I love reading.

Ten gassed men. Ten gassed men.
They follow blind in single file.
One turns to spew and break the chain
of shouldered hands and splintered minds.

Ten blind men. Ten blind men.
Each marked for sacrifice,
bandaged eyes and mustard faced,
lungs in foamed embrace.

Ten maked men. Ten marked men.
their eyes see what we can't
in Singer Seargeant's paint,
sights rehearsed and cursed.
Singer Sargeant painted a welknown oicture called 'Gassed' of these gassed WW1 soldiers
